Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, no contract, arrangement, relationship or understanding (either oral or written) exists among the Reporting Persons as to the acquisition, disposition, voting or holding of Shares.

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer from time to time on the basis of various factors, including the Issuer’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic and industry conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the Issuer’s stock in particular, as well as other developments.

Each of the Funds may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 5,888,642 shares of Common Stock held directly by the Funds and Mr. Sheehy, constituting 6.2% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported in publicly available information, as a result of certain relationships among the Funds and their affiliates.

Each of the Funds from time to time may enter into and unwind cash settled equity swap or other similar derivative transactions with respect to the Shares.

October 1, 2006

Board of Directors

Metromedia International Group, Inc.

8000 Tower Point Drive

Charlotte, NC 28227

Members of the Board,

I am a Managing Member of Black Horse Capital Advisors LLC and Black Horse Capital Management LLC (Black Horse Capital). Through its affiliated funds, Black Horse Capital currently owns 5,218,581 shares of Metromedia International Group, Inc. (Metromedia) common stock (MTRM) and a significant amount of Metromedia International preferred stock (MTRMP).

We were approached by Ernie Pyle in late August and asked to sign a Non-disclosure agreement with a thirty day expiration period. After signing the agreement, it was made known to Black Horse Capital that this Board is preparing to file for bankruptcy and sell the Magticom asset in the context of the Chapter 11 filing. We strongly believe that a Chapter 11 filing would be detrimental to the interests of all equity holders and demand that the Board immediately abandon such a course of action. As I discuss below, there is simply no reasonable justification for pursuing this strategy at this time and we are shocked that the Board believes that it has fulfilled its fiduciary duties to stockholders by pursuing this course of action without further consideration of strategic alternatives or the release of financial statements. In this regard, we demand that the Board release current financial statements prior to entering any binding transaction and prior to filing Chapter 11 so that the market can determine the value of the company.

Metromedia is a solvent estate and there is no economic justification for a Chapter 11 filing. Even if you value Metromedia on the single bid which is currently being contemplated as the “stalking horse” bid, there is enough money to pay the preferred shares at par plus past due interest and leave a significant sum of money for common equity. Additionally, given the perpetual nature of the preferred stock, I can not understand how this Board could vote to file for Chapter 11 since Metromedia has no other significant liability. I understand that you are planning to artificially impair the preferred holders by giving them a marginal discount to the liquidation preference in order to attempt to cram down the common equity holders. The only explanation for this action is to take away the shareholders right to vote on this transaction and to approve the allocation of the proceeds.

LOGO

We note your Form 8-K filing on September 27, 2006 in which you have agreed to a stipulation to hold an annual meeting December 15^th, 2006. It was also communicated to me by Ernie Pyle that Esopus Creek Value LP is not subject to the NDA and therefore unaware that you will attempt to file for Chapter 11 and sell all your assets prior to holding this meeting and standing for reelection. We find it shocking that you would permit Esopus to be misled into agreeing to such a stipulation without the full benefit of accurate and complete information about the company’s plans, however misguided they may be. If your actions are truly above board, you should be willing to share this information with all your large shareholders (including Esopus) and to stand for reelection prior to this transaction. This would not be an extraordinary measure, but simple good corporate governance.

I am sure you know that shareholders will not support a sale of the company that gives them anything less than the market value of the stock. Metromedia’s common stock (MTRM) has traded at an average closing price of $1.5298 for the last year (9/23/05 to 09/22/06 per Bloomberg). Please note that the common equity is trading at this level even in the absence of current financial statements. Given the total lack of financial transparency and complete loss of credibility due to multiple disappointments regarding the release of current financial statements, the common equity trading price could not possibly reflect the full value of the Magticom asset. It was communicated to Black Horse that this Board is preparing to grant cash “performance” bonuses in the range of $25 million to members of the management team for a transaction that will generate a distribution to equity of approximately $135 million. I can not comprehend why you would choose to sell the company at a discount to this depressed market price and then seek to pay management huge “performance” bonuses for completing a below market transaction.

For those with short memories, let me remind you that this same Board attempted to sell both the PeterStar asset and the Magticom asset in November of 2004 for $300 million. After shareholders objected to this sale, Metromedia agreed to sell only PeterStar but for $212 million. Given current contemplated bid for Magticom, the value of these two assets is in excess of $600 million. With this recent history of significantly undervaluing your assets, it is impossible for shareholders to take your word and believe that this deal is in our best interest. It was communicated to Black Horse that an investment banking team has not been hired and that this deal has not been shopped. It is also your fiduciary duty to not only consider selling the company, but also consider the trading value of the stock if Metromedia were to ever become fully transparent with its financial statements.

LOGO

You can not possibly determine the market value of Magticom without having fully certified financial results.

Filing for Chapter 11 will only put another obstacle in the way of determining the full value of Magticom. With its operations in the Republic of Georgia, potential bidders are likely to be international strategic buyers. Asking an international firm to conduct due diligence in the Republic of Georgia on an expedited basis while trying to navigate the bankruptcy laws in the US and to pay a break-up fee if successful for a company without certified financial statements will surely chill any vigorous competition. Without hiring financial advisors and without shopping this deal in a non-bankruptcy context with support from certified financials, you will not be able to rely on the “auction” process as justification for your duties as fiduciaries to equity. Any investment banker will tell you that the situation contemplated by this Board would likely lead to a discounted asset sale.

If the Board seeks to act contrary to the best interest of the shareholders and in a manner that we believe would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law by pursuing a Chapter 11 bankruptcy and failing to disclose financial statements, we will be forced to consider all alternatives available to us to prevent such an unconscionable abuse of power.

We offer a simple solution. Release your current financial statements and hold the shareholders meeting with the entire Board standing for reelection. After you have performed these basic governance tasks, you will have a much better understanding of the market value of the Magticom asset. If you can find a deal that offers a premium to the market price after full financial transparency and after the Board has stood for reelection, we would be supportive.

Sincerely,

Dale B. Chappell

Managing Member

Black Horse Capital
